Still abstain from betting journey. GT have been a great platform for journal and as well as reading thru all recovery progress and learning from it.

To all fellows in recovery, seek not to vent gambling in journal for one time off. But seek the journey in recovery together.

I have a compulsive behaviour. Im not an addict. But right now, i choose to lead a better healthy with non gambling.

598 Days free from sports betting.

Always greatful to GT for this platform journaling and also being able to see others journal.

During early recovery stages was my happiest moments where i start to work on better self care and simple moments.

Right now i intend to work towards back there again. Sleep well, eat well , work well and work out well!

Grateful to be able to work on it back again step by step.

Have a blessful day ahead everyone! 🙂

Hi All,

@ GF 7 days (1st week)

I am happy to be able to hit my 1st week of GF , but do understand about long journey ahead.

It has become lesser trigger for the last two days as i had taken back more work job responsbility compared to the last couple of years which i havent being doing much work. This allow me to find more purpose in life and as well being more focus in my daily life.

I have also started doing light work out and runs for last two days which i think is great and im feeling happy about it.

I believe i am even stronger to stay GF this time around as i am in placing more barriers, actions and deeper understanding to prevent any replease this time around.

I see many members here like Kin and many other whom share their experiences and i am very greatly for it as i am learning from all of it, further understand, accepting facts and how to work better on it.

I will continue to work on myself importantly first to quit gambling for good this time and will strive to work towards helping others in my local community in near future.

To conclude for this week, the result and reward of this GF have brought great daily morning, less anxiety, more time spent and better communication with family.

Lets keep it going everyone and God bless us all.

Hi Murrs7,

it’s good to see you posting. I can share with you that I used to be a sports bettor. the odds kills and not only the odds. But it is the gambling addiction. We have to accept and embrace the fact that every forms of events as long as it’s gambling. It will be never ending destruction path way.

I hope you can pick yourself up. Find help and ways which I believe you had done it before but to be ever stronger this time around.

Hang in there buddy. Don’t give up!

I hope to continue to hear from you.

Sunny

Hi Darkenergy,

It sadden me to see you have such thoughs and giving up as the darkenergy as the posting from you and i believe you will not give up as you know what is right and that why you are here in this GT forum.

I read recently, ” relapsed is part of recovery” , so Darkenergry all people doesnt make it right or correct in our lives in everything we do , be it work or anything. We will need multiple attempts and improvement. And with hard work and not giving up. I believe we can do it.

There is many people around that care about you and support you. I hope to see you continue posting and fighting together with us to overcome this addiction. We can do it.

Hi All,

@ GF day 6

It was an exteremly tough weekend that many triggers keep come about.

I shall name the evil monster that keep whispering to me “Evil Sporty” to do some deposit in my betting account, and i been getting back at it by telling him off to get away from me, remember my past lifes and journey. Do i just want to get back at it for a spite of moment. One of the screen that i tell myself is having my kids and family on a weighting scale on the left, and the ” DESTRUCTIVE Adult disneyland on the right”. Pick one.

Another thing i have been doing to handle triggers this period of time is keep watching and listening on youtubes on overcoming addictions plus goggle more informations and readings. This kind of help thru quite a bit.

I realise that one of the trigger usually come about during boredom and little bit of light stress. Therefore, i am hoping to go further in to identify and find ways to see if i can have more preventive measures in.

Another main trigger is also due to the access of funds which im currently working on handing over to someone close to me, while beside beating the gambling addiction, im also working out on my money finanical management. Hoping to learn better and working hard on it since im bad at it since young.

As much as i understand that i had too much on my plate right now to handle, i have decided to quit smoking and alchohol as well, which actually started 3 days back. Pretty sick of all these sort of addictions and hoping to end it all, and to be a good leading example for my kids.

The other important side to me is to reach out to close friends and familiy. I been sharing with my family amd close friends for support and help on my intention to beat the addictions but not yet sharing about the gambling side, which i intend to tell them once im ready, hopefully soon.

I still have pretty much to share but i believe that it is a very long journey that i need to slowly work it thru and i know that i cant just achieve this journey thru using will-powered and etc.

I will and must be ready for this long battle no matter how tough it is and i believe that God is there to help as long as we are willing to give up for change.

For those who is reading these and whom are in same situation. Please do not give up, it is important to reach out.

Lastly , i do hope that you guys or anyone can give me some comments or any supportive message to help us together to get thru this journey together.

Thank you and God Bless us all.

Sunny
